Administrative / biographical background:

In 1964 the Department of Education and Science established a Technical Co-ordination Working Party (TCWP), reporting to a Committee of Chairmen of Boards of Chief Architects (CAOC) of the educational building consortia of local authorities. These had been set up to promote industrialised techniques for building schools economically and on a large scale.

The consortia involved were the South Eastern Architects Consortium (SEAC), the Consortium of Local Authorities Special Programme (CLASP), the Second Consortium of Local Authorities (SCOLA), the Consortium for Method Building (CMB), the Consortium of Local Authorities in Wales (CLAW), the Organisation of North Western Authorities for Rationalised Design (ONWARD), the Anglian Standing Conference (ASC) and the Metropolitan Architectural Consortium for Education (MACE).

Meetings of CAOC acted as a forum for the exchange of information and for the discussion of technical policy in education building.
